LongHorn Desserts Menu With Prices 2026

By [author name] · Last checked: November 2026 ✓ Prices checked Nov 2026

LongHorn desserts cost $6.99–$11.99 for the main dessert menu in 2026, with the famous Chocolate Stampede at $11.49–$11.99. If you only order one dessert, order the Chocolate Stampede, and plan to share it. It is the signature dessert on the LongHorn steakhouse dessert menu, it is built for the whole table, and it is still on the menu in 2026. LongHorn does not publish one national price list. Prices vary by location, so this page shows 2026 price ranges, checked November 8, 2026, against the official website and independent menu price sources. You get the real spread, not one store’s number. Below: the full LongHorn desserts menu with prices, a clear pick for the best dessert at LongHorn, sharing guidance for each dessert, and answers to the questions diners actually ask.

LongHorn dessert prices at a glance (2026)

---

Ranges are USD, checked November 8, 2026. Prices vary by location. Your LongHorn may charge slightly more or less. Calories are third-party estimates, not official figures.

The Chocolate Stampede price is the strongest price on this page. It was verified on the official LongHorn website on October 10, 2026, at three locations: Dallas $11.49, Orlando $11.99, and Atlanta $11.79. Those prices sit inside the $11.49–$11.99 range above, which shows the spread you may see, rather than pretending every restaurant charges the same amount.

The other desserts come from independent 2026 menu price sources. Strawberries and Cream Shortcake and Molten Lava Cake each have a range from more than one source. Caramel Apple Goldrush and The Cheesecake each have only one source, so we show the single price found and label it as single source. We do not turn a single source price into a made up range.

The Stampede calorie figure, ~2,460, comes from CalorieKing and FatSecret, which agree on the headline number (132 g fat, 289 g carbs, 191 g sugars, 28 g protein). It is a third-party estimate, not an official figure, and we label it that way everywhere it appears. The other calorie figures are third-party estimates too.

A short note on to-go jar desserts (low confidence, single source)

Some reports mention to-go jar desserts, in Key Lime and Choc PB flavors, at a reported $2.99–$3.49. This note is explicitly labeled low confidence and single source. It is not in the main table above, because the evidence is too thin to present it alongside the verified main desserts. Availability may vary by location, and some locations may not offer jar desserts at all. If you want one, ask your server or check the to-go menu at your local restaurant before you count on it.

Best dessert at LongHorn

---

The best dessert at LongHorn, by diner demand and by signature status, is the Chocolate Stampede. It is the dessert people ask about by name, the dessert people worry has been removed, and the dessert built to end a steakhouse dinner for a group. If your table can only agree on one dessert, this is the safe pick.

That does not mean it is the right pick for every person. If you want something lighter after a heavy steak dinner, Strawberries and Cream Shortcake is the better choice, since its fruit and cream profile feels fresher after rich food, and at ~640 calories it is the lightest dessert on the menu. If you want warm chocolate in a single serving, Molten Lava Cake is the better choice. It gives you the chocolate finish without the sharing size of the Stampede. If you want a classic, familiar finish, The Cheesecake is the straightforward pick. If you like caramel and apple together, Caramel Apple Goldrush is the pick that stands out from the usual chocolate and cheesecake options, though at ~1,640 calories it is the second heaviest dessert on the page.

Our ranking is simple. First, Chocolate Stampede for the table. Second, Molten Lava Cake for one chocolate lover. Third, Strawberries and Cream Shortcake for a lighter finish and for value. Fourth, The Cheesecake for a classic finish. Fifth, Caramel Apple Goldrush for a different flavor. Pick by what your table actually likes.

What each LongHorn dessert is like

---

Chocolate Stampede

Chocolate Stampede is LongHorn’s signature dessert, and it is priced at $11.49–$11.99. It is a rich, chocolate forward dessert made to be shared: six kinds of chocolate, layered as a warm chocolate layer cake with chocolate mousse, chocolate truffle filling, and chocolate fudge sauce, served with two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Diners talk about it as a big finish to the meal, not as a small sweet bite after dinner. That sharing size is part of its appeal. It turns dessert into a group moment, with everyone at the table taking a spoonful.

Order it when at least two people want dessert, ideally three or more, and when you want the classic LongHorn experience. Do not order it as a light finish for one person after a full steak dinner unless you are ready for a very rich, very large dessert. At $11.49–$11.99, it is the most expensive dessert on the main menu, but also the one most clearly meant to be split. At ~2,460 calories for the whole dessert, split four ways it is about 615 calories each, which is a normal dessert.

Strawberries & Cream Shortcake

Strawberries and Cream Shortcake is priced at $6.99–$9.79, which makes it the lowest priced dessert on the main LongHorn dessert menu. It is a fruit and cream dessert built around strawberries and shortcake, and it reads as the freshest option on the page. After a steak, a baked potato, and bread, many diners want something that does not feel heavy. This is that option. At ~640 calories it is also the lightest dessert on the menu.

Order it when you want dessert without more chocolate or richness, when you are watching the bill, since it starts lower than every other main dessert, or for one person, since it is a single serving rather than a sharing dessert. It is also a good pick for diners who do not love chocolate.

Molten Lava Cake

Molten Lava Cake is priced at $8.29–$9.79. It is a warm chocolate cake dessert, the kind where the center stays soft and molten while the outside is baked through. It sits in the middle of the LongHorn dessert price range, below the Stampede and above the starting price of the shortcake. At ~1,100 calories it is a one-person dessert, though two people can split it after a big dinner.

Order it when one person wants chocolate and does not want to share a large dessert. Order it when you want warmth in the dessert course, since a warm cake feels different from a chilled dessert after dinner. It is a strong second choice if the Stampede feels too big for your table. One person can finish it comfortably, and it still gives the chocolate finish many steakhouse diners want.

Caramel Apple Goldrush

Caramel Apple Goldrush is priced at $9.29. Please note this is a single source price, so confirm it in store. It is the caramel and apple dessert on the menu, and it offers a flavor that is different from the chocolate desserts and from the cheesecake. Caramel brings sweetness and warmth, apple brings a fruit note that keeps it from feeling only sweet. At ~1,640 calories it is a heavy dessert, heavier than the Lava Cake and second only to the Stampede, so share it if you can.

Order it when you want something different from chocolate, when you like caramel desserts, or when you want a dessert that pairs well with coffee after dinner. Because the price comes from a single source, we present it as $9.29 with that warning, rather than as a range we cannot support. If your location charges a different amount, prices vary by location, which is why we show a checked date and a source note.

The Cheesecake

The Cheesecake is priced at $10.79. Please note this is a single source price, so confirm it in store. It is the classic cheesecake option on the LongHorn dessert menu. Cheesecake is a familiar, reliable finish. Diners who order it usually know exactly what they want: a creamy, rich slice, without surprises. At ~990 calories it is lighter than the Stampede and the Goldrush, and a normal single serving.

Order it when you want a classic dessert everyone recognizes, or when chocolate does not appeal to everyone at the table but you still want a rich finish. Like Caramel Apple Goldrush, its price rests on a single source, so we show $10.79 as a single source price and ask you to confirm it at your restaurant.

Sharing guidance: how to order dessert for your table

---

Dessert ordering goes wrong in two ways. People order too much after a large dinner, or people skip dessert and then wish they had ordered one to share.

For two people, one dessert is usually enough if you have eaten a full dinner. Order the Chocolate Stampede to share, or order one Molten Lava Cake or one shortcake to split if you want a smaller finish. For three or four people, one Chocolate Stampede is the natural choice, with a second dessert only if tastes split sharply, for example if one person wants fruit while the rest want chocolate. For a larger table, order one Chocolate Stampede plus one lighter dessert, such as the shortcake, so the table has both a rich option and a fresh option.

Tell your server you plan to share, so they can bring extra plates and spoons. If you are ordering dessert to go, ask about packaging, but do not assume jar desserts are available at every location, since that item is low confidence and single source.

Cost per person is simple division of the verified prices above ($11.49–$11.99 Stampede, $6.99–$9.79 shortcake), not a separate price check.

Do they still have the Chocolate Stampede?

---

Yes. The Chocolate Stampede is still on the menu in 2026. This question comes straight from real diners, who asked online, “You forgot the chocolate stampede!! Do they still have it?” The worry is understandable. Longtime favorites do sometimes disappear from menus, and diners notice fast when a dessert they love is missing.

In this case, the answer is reassuring. The Chocolate Stampede was verified on the official LongHorn website on October 10, 2026, at $11.49–$11.99, with Dallas at $11.49, Orlando at $11.99, and Atlanta at $11.79. A dessert that is still priced on the official menu at three locations is still on the menu. If your local restaurant is out of it on a given night, that is a stock issue on that night, not a menu removal. Ask your server, and check back on a later visit.

Diners also ask about the calories in the Chocolate Stampede, because it has a reputation as a very high calorie dessert. It is a sharing dessert, and it is very high in calories: ~2,460 for the whole dessert in third-party listings (CalorieKing and FatSecret agree), which is more calories than most people eat in a full day if one person eats it alone. Split it and the number stops being scary: two people get about 1,230 each, three people about 820 each, four people about 615 each. Share it, and it is a normal dessert.

Desserts and the Veterans Day deal

---

Desserts matter beyond an ordinary dinner, because they are part of LongHorn’s Veterans Day offer. Each November, military guests can receive a free appetizer or a free dessert as part of the Veterans Day deal, alongside the year round military discount. That means a dessert on this page, including the Chocolate Stampede, can be the free item for a qualifying guest on Veterans Day, subject to that year’s official terms. It is not a free entree, and the free item is for the table with an adult entree purchase, not one per person.

If you are planning a Veterans Day visit, check the official terms for that year before you go, including who qualifies and what to bring or show. Do not assume the free dessert covers every dessert without checking that year’s terms. As of our last check, LongHorn had not yet announced its official 2026 Veterans Day terms, so the details above follow the pattern of past years and the American Legion 2026 list, not an official LongHorn announcement.

Ordering tips for dessert

---

A few small choices make the dessert course better. First, wait until dinner plates are cleared and you know how full you feel. Second, decide between sharing and single servings before you order, using the sharing guidance above. Third, order coffee or another drink at the same time, so dessert and drink arrive together. The Cheesecake pairs well with coffee after dinner.

Tell your server you plan to share, so they can bring extra plates and spoons. If you are ordering dessert for a birthday or anniversary, tell your server when you arrive: many locations will bring a complimentary dessert with a candle for a celebration, but this is not a published policy, so ask rather than expecting it.

If you are ordering to go, ask your server what travels well, since a chilled dessert and a warm cake behave differently in a to-go box. Check the to-go menu at your location, since to-go availability can differ from the dine in menu. The low confidence note on jar desserts applies here too.

If price matters to you, use the ranges on this page to plan. The main desserts run $6.99–$11.99, so a shared Stampede at $11.49–$11.99 can cost less per person than two separate desserts. The shortcake, at $6.99–$9.79, is the lowest cost way to end the meal with dessert. Prices vary by location, so use the range as a planning guide and confirm the price at your restaurant if the exact amount matters to your budget.

How we keep this page accurate

---

Most menu sites copy each other’s numbers, including stale prices. We do not. Every price range on this site follows one method, and this page follows it too.

Cross-checked across sources

The Chocolate Stampede was verified live on the official LongHorn website on October 10, 2026, with Dallas, Orlando, and Atlanta locations selected. The other desserts were checked against independent 2026 menu price sources. Where more than one source agreed, we show a range. Where only one source existed, we label the price as single source. Prices were re-checked against our own dish-page research on November 8, 2026.

Shown as a range, not a single number

Because LongHorn sets prices per location, a single number would mislead you. The range is the lowest to highest credible 2026 price we found. Single source prices are shown as a single price with a warning, not stretched into a false range.

Stamped with a checked date

This page was last checked November 8, 2026. If a price is older than the stamp on the page, assume it is outdated.

Purged of known stale traps

We discarded sources still showing 2020 era prices. One source lists a Stampede “half portion” at 1,230 calories as if it were a menu item; it is not, it is just half the whole dessert, and we do not present it as a portion. Another source lists the Stampede at $12.49, above the official ceiling of $11.99, and we do not use it.

Confidence note, stated honestly

Strongest dessert price: the Chocolate Stampede, officially verified at three locations. Weakest: Caramel Apple Goldrush at $9.29 and The Cheesecake at $10.79, each single source. To-go jar desserts at a reported $2.99–$3.49 are low confidence and single source, kept out of the main table. All calorie figures are third-party estimates, not official figures, because LongHorn publishes no single national nutrition PDF. Single source does not mean wrong, it means verify in-store if the exact price matters to you.
